China is what I was told when I contacted the company, but it is a US based company. They are really amazing knives though. I use them so much that I bought another set.

This knife is now made in Taiwan. I also own an older model that is made in the USA. The quality of both knives is very good.

it appears the cutting blade is made of stainless steel. the unit below which looks like a small wheel, i think it is some other material, it is a small but sturdy wheel probably some thicker type of metal.

The label on all of the blades reads as follows, X30Cr13 STEEL / HRC53 + - 2 / ICE TEMPERED -300 DEGREES F. That is all I can tell you. Hope it helps you.

They are German steel. I'm not sure where the country of origin is. They are the same kind I used when I lived in Berlin. Excellent quality and very sharp.

On one blade is stamped "China." I would doubt seriously if they'd make blades here and send them to China. If, for wherever reason, you want a Buck made in the US, buy the model 301 (pretty sure that's the correct number). Regards, George

This specific model is made in China sadly. Although with that being said, I still really like the knife and this other comment is correct it is extremely well built.

Hello, The blade is made of 1045 high carbon steel. The blade is not sharp enough for use but the tip is sharp so be cautious. It's definitely a great showpiece.

I'm not exactly sure but I believe they are made in China. The same company has higher end knives that are made in Japan. The important thing to remember is that it is a very high quality knife at a very affordable price. It will last long and hold an edge because it has high carbon steel. Most similarly priced knives will not have that.

It is made in the USA. Amazon is known to have errors in a number of their descriptions. And it is not easy to get them to change them even when you point out it is wrong. If in doubt, go to the manufacturer's page. This particular knife is not printed on the blade as being made in the USA like most of their other USA made knives are. Not sure why. Just the handle.

Knife Center said Made in Taiwan, Amazon said Origin China, So in conclusion Asian's. Very pleased with my purchase as stated in my review. Remember Asian people have been making Blades for Centuries. Hope this was Helpful...

Daniel, I'm sure all the parts are not steel. Locking ring, auger screw, feed/grinder tube cylinder, and locking ring appear to be aluminum. I believe the cutting blade may be steel, and possibly the two grinding plates are steel. You can call EdgeCraft (as I will do tomorrow) to have your questions answered: 800-342-3255, Avondale PA. The boilerplate in the manual states: "This is not a product of KitchenAid or Whirlpool Corp." The manual is printed in English and French, doesn't say made in China but origins of many manufactured items isn't revealed anymore, I've noticed.

The blade is marked "BK11 USA." At that point I assume the blade was made in the USA.

Knife is made in Germany. Shears don't specify on them but even on the more expensive Classic line they are made in China

Sorry, bud. I don't have the package any more and there's nothing on the blade that indicates where it's made. But given the price, I wouldn't doubt it was made in china or some other asian country.
